Bus registration for all riders must be completed
before beginning to ride the bus. The school district transportation
program serves over 2,800 bus passengers each day. The objective of the
program is to provide the most efficient and safe transportation
possible. This requires the cooperation of the school district, bus
carrier, parents, students, and community.

Transportation by school bus is not mandatory.
This service is provided for those who wish to ride under the terms and
guidelines established by the school laws of Montana and school
district policy.

Students are registered for the bus by their
parents. A minimum one-week waiting period may occur before students can
begin riding the bus. This gives the Transportation Coordinator, bus
contractor and driver adequate time to make sure the designated stop is
assigned and added to the route.

All school buses travel established and
approved routes. Bus stops are established at designated locations. It
is not possible to provide a bus stop at every street or lane. School
bus route numbers are displayed beside the entrance door of the bus.

All school bus drivers must be qualified and
must perform their duties as stipulated by Montana School Laws, the
Montana Office of Public Instruction, the U.S. Department of
Transportation, and the Interstate Commerce Commission. All school bus
drivers receive continuous in-service training in the safe methods of
operating a school bus.
